Hej och hå allesammans! Nu är det så länge sedan jag har skrivit i min blogg så jag vet inte riktigt var jag skall börja. Får försöka göra det kronologiskt så skall vi se om jag lyckas komma ihåg allt. Har hänt mycket, något som också är orsaken till att jag inte har tagit mig tid att skriva min blogg. Ångrar nu förståss... Så långt bak mitt minne sträcker sig är det första interesanta som hände efter sist jag skrev Halloween. Vad jag har förstått så är inte Halloween så stort här bland barn, tror inte de går ”Trick or treat” [View Full Entry]

No, your eyes do not deceive you, it does say 1988. As my project here in Germany, I’ve begun to go over our travel journals started in 1988 when we left Alaska for our first long adventure. We went to Antigua, Guatemala first to study Spanish, then traveled through Central and South America for about a year and one-half. So as to have an accurate, historical record of our journals, I’m re-typing them “as is” so to speak. Therefore, the narrative might only be interesting to those of you who want to know what it was like in these places so [View Full Entry]

The house is cool too you [View Full Entry]

Hei og haa! No er det nok ein gang veldig lenge sidan eg har skrive men har liksom ikkje skjedd saa veldig mykje i det siste. For aa sei det slik, livet i Antigua er ikkje akkurat fylt meg fart og spenning, men saa er det akkurat det eg lika med livet mitt her :) No har eg omsider byrja paa den nye jobben min. Etter 1 veke i Miami tok eg meg 2 veker fri ettersom eg framleis hosta og har faatt beskjed om at ein ikkje kan gaa paa jobb om ein er sjuk. Barna faar lett lungebetennelse av [View Full Entry]

Hey guys!! I'm in Antigua and it is friggin beautiful!!! Mitch and I are at the McDonald's and it is all that it was said to be... gardens, fountain and a view of ruins and a volcano! Every street here is colourful and it was hot and sunny today. The flight was alright except at the LA airport... what a mess! That place is huge and we were repeatedly told the wrong directions so after about 2 hours and a lot of walking, we finally found our flight aaaand then waited another 3 hours. That was the only difficult thing, since [View Full Entry]

Hei og haa! Tenkte det var paa tide aa legge ut nytt blogg-innlegg trass i at det slett ikkje har skjedd noko spesielt i det siste. Men veit at iallfall familien min byrjar aa lure naar det ikkje kjem nye blogg-innlegg, saa eg faar vel heller berre pröve aa finne paa noko aa skrive :) Siste blogg-innlegg blei riktignok lagt ut i Antigua, men var skrive halvveis ut i opphaldet mitt i Miami. Enn saa lenge var ting bra, men SAA rasa idyllen. Eg og Odd Helge reiste til ein outlet-mall, og allerede i byrjinga merka eg at eg ikkje var [View Full Entry]

A friend e-mailed to let me know that she wasn't automatically receiving my blog updates and would have to start checking manually. Nancy, I don't know if that was a subtle hint, but suffice it to say there wasn't a technical problem... Antigua Antigua is a beautiful and historical city in Guatemala. The streets are cobbled and the sidewalks run along the walls of the homes and businesses. It is amazing to see what lies beyond the walls in the city. Historically, a house would have been an entire square block, but these have since been divided into numerous homes and [View Full Entry]

On Monday, September 7th, we flew from Miami to Guatemala City. Juan from Casa Bellona was there to pick us up and drive us to the guesthouse in Antigua. Antigua is an old town in the central highlands of Guatemala. It was the original capital of the country until a series of earthquakes in the early 1700's convinced authorities to move the capital to its current location, Guatemala City. Many of the churches and other buildings damaged by these earthquakes remain. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a popular destination, with good tourist infrastructure, and some English [View Full Entry]

Here I am in Antigua, Guatemala! I've been here for a few days now. I have relaxed in the beautiful Central Park, enjoyed the international cuisine (I'm not sure that they even serve rice and beans here!), been propositioned by an aggressive Guatemalan, and walked in circles. Although Antigua is built on a very practical grid system, most of the streets look the same and there are very few signs. It is amazing and beautiful to see the historic buildings and cobbled streets. My hostel is quiet, clean, and very nice. I met up with a girl today and we stopped [View Full Entry]
